Holliday went with the 13th pick of round 1, yes round 1. He was an early 2nd round pick on my draft board. This was a no brainer 2nd round with upside guy so if he fell to round 10 in your league it is full of terrible players.

Hanley went with pick #27 (to me).

Fielder was pick #58 (to me), I had him as a 3rd round pick on my draft board but I waited on him until the 5th because of ADP.

B.J. Upton went in the 16th round, he probably was the biggest value after Fielder, nobody was sure if he would start full time or not.

But given that I have a better understand of what you are looking for, here are a few guys currently going in rounds 3-6 that I think we will be talking about as potential round 1 picks. As steve-o said, even with that expanded definition, it's a pretty thin list to start.

To make that top 12 you really have to have 40+ HR+SB and 200+ R+RBI and an average of .280+ Each of these 6 could do that, but it's a stretch for all of them.

How would you rank those players though?I have them ranked like thisHartMarkakisCanoPenceChris B YoungAtkins

what you think

I have them as:MarkakisAtkinsPenceHartCanoYoungbut, it's kind of a meaningless ordering. Based on SGP in a 12 team league, the total difference from top to bottom is less than 1 SGP. Effectively, there's no difference between them.

actually holliday survived round 10, went at the end of round 11. i reluctantly traded my delgado for holliday before the season began because i needed OF and the other team needed a proven player like delgado lolhad i heard of holliday i would have taken him earlier. i also got hanley with pick 71 whom i hadnt heard of. it was a fun year but i'll do better this year now that i know all the players
